Path only on textbox

Is it possible to enter only a File path in textbox using c# (windows application)?
Just like the function (IsNumeric) that will only allow the numbers only in textbox. How should I do that?










share|improve this question






















  • Hi Alexis, File Path can contain any type of data, so I'll suggest to use simple textbox of winform for showing File Path.

There are two properties of TextBox you can make use of



textBox1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;
textBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.FileSystem;


This will make your textbox to provide suggestions while you type a path

    You are welcome. Also you can use System.IO.File.Exists(filepath); to check if the file exists or not
